here on, Bobby gradually grew comfortable with fronting it, but it took some time. Also of note are Gloria and Hully Gully. I wonder if the borrowed instruments just spoke to them.

Not sure, but is this the first Turn on Your Lovelight since the Pigpen heydays? I can't find another in between. No one seemed to notice this. hmmmmm.....

Good one
Some people have commented that the sound wasn't that good and have marked it down on that accord. The sound is perfectly fine, there is some slight tape
...
noise, but compared to many other shows that I have gotten from here there is no problem. You can hear every instrument and voice perfectly fine. What we got here is a high energy show with an accoustic set. Not the best version of any of the songs that was ever played, but you can say that about well over 2,000 other shows as well. Great set list with a number of songs that you don't hear them doing every day. I would rate this 9 out of ten, I'll round it up since the average rating here is 4 out of 5.

DH en castizo clásico
Sé de Grateful Dead desde 1965. Nunca les escuché tocar en vivo. Todo en grabación, todo en documentos. Y gracias a la información de Internet Archive
...
recupero esa vivencia. Justo con la posibilidad de escuchar conciertos como éste y leer los comentarios. Gracias por eso. Y ya es tiempo de considerar que algo tan importante y grande como esto de Grateful Dead también implica el ingreso de otras lenguas en este espacio. Como el castellano que yo empleo para darme a entender mejor. Thanks for the atention.
I have an old tape of this show. I recall it was recorded very speedy, or very slow. distorted nonetheless. Thank you for posting! The whole thing reminds
...
me of a soundcheck. Unlike a soundcheck, there is no stopping to shout out chords C minor,D, C minor, E ! then picking up where you left off. Its a performance! The fact that they were playing with borrowed equipment seems to make it more challenging for the boys, and thus they sound like they are having good 'ol fashoned Grateful Dead fun. The intimate setting comes through quite clear. Imagin the Grateful Dead playing in your local club in the 1980s! WOW! Five-Five Stars!
I have a tape of this show and the sound quality from your VBR.MP3 is poor by comparison. While I cannot claim direct lineage, I know that I made two copies
...
(good show) from what was close to the master tape. The tapes I have are bright. Using a Nak 680ZX to record. I have scant notes other than there were about 500 people at the Milky Way Hash Bar show that night, and yes there are aud patches.

Spontaneity is the key

European runs when they sound bored because the touring and song selection became too standardized. This band made its name by taking big risks and this show is evidence that taking risks can bring BIG rewards.

The Bob B-Day Show: Melk Weg '81
A famous fun show, certainly not highest on the list for pure musical chops, but just one of "those" nights. Borrowed instruments, an acoustic set, Bob's
...
birthday, last Ripple until '88, only Hully Gully, 1st Gloria since '65, and a club show. A fun little window in time for what surely must have been a great little night in the Netherlands. 3 1/2 stars for performance, but 4 stars for sheer enthusiasm.

judge for yourself. If there is some other source that sounds better I would love to hear it. In any event, I am good with this.

Overrated?
Playin' In The Band-> Hully Gully-> The Wheel-> Samson & Delilah-> Gloria-> Turn On Your Love Light-> Goin' Down The Road Feelin'
...
Bad-> Playin' In The Band-> Black Peter-> Sugar Magnolia Whoever says this is overrated needs a second listen. The band had a great time and this was such a loose show. the chill vibe translated to a diverse second set with some cool ass material in there.....IMO this is a cool show...
Sorry. Had ythis one yers ago and didn't get it then. Novelty factor is high....quality is so so along with playing. Will say that I would have loved

to have been there. Sorry I wasn't. There are much better downloads out there.

What a great walk down memory lane
I got a great copy of this in the fall of '82 from some guys I knew at Lafayette College and relished this for a long time. On listening to this again
...
cannot believe how hot this is and sadly this was the last time they played the Radio City and Warfield material acoustically. Oh babe it aint no lie, on the road again, bird song, all great. The second set was great for alot of reasons that was the one and only (Iam aware of) hully gully, first lovelight in close to 10 years and the whole back end of this just rips.... Top 10 for novelty alone... When was the last time you heard a show like this while you ordered a few grams of black afghan hash to smoke at your table?

be feeling good (Bob Weir's 34th B-Day). The Lovelight and Gloria hadn't been pulled out in a super long time and this is the only "Hully Gully". Probably my favorite show of '81.
